That's why I find idea that no gamer in Ready Player One tried running a car backward offensive.

Its like, people rub against every square inch of geometry in say, Destiny 2, just to get out of bounds. It's insane that no one just...tried cause they're bored even.

I always remember back in world of warcraft, before you had flying mounts, there were spots you could spam jump on to slowly climb the barrier mountains and get up to the flat area they never meant for you to see. Good times.

Or old 3D platformers that didn't disable collision on visual detail bits, so you could do skips or get out of bounds.

I was a frequent flyer in mod chat because I got stuck out of bounds a lot back in the day.

I mean, how did he have the foresight to know that almost everyone would go to school inside his videogame?

He didnt, the intent was to put it somewhere that everyone could and should access, a place of learning. No gatekeeping, no financial or age restrictions.

There’s a little explanation in that it costs to get in to the race. So naturally people wouldn’t want to waste the attempt, except there’s always someone that will pay the fee and try just about anything.

Especially when the prize is that big.

That might buy you a few days, but not the absurd amount of time in the story.
